Suggestions- need to send some flowers with a 'wow' factor

[amir_j]

Need to send flowers, only ever sent red roses and not too clued up on the subject so help! Would like to send a bunch to the OH which have a wow factor to them. Say up to £100- any romance experts about?

Save yourself a few quid......

Debenhams or M&S have a good range from memory on their websites

Wouldn't say I'm a romance expert but flowers I know something about... what's your budget?

Say up to £100, nothing more than £150 if 100 is not do-able.

So... what did you do?

So........what have you done wrong?

I never use Interflora websites or the like. You get far more effort put in to the arrangement if you ring a good local florist directly.

Search Yell or similar for florists local to you and see which one appears to offer a more personal service. Give them a call and say that you are looking for something with a bit of wow factor and any good florist should jump at the opportunity to put some creativity into the bouquet.

nothing lol

Its for morning after her hen night to make her smile as will be knackered. Had a look on the sites- liking the Pink Oriental lillies selections (in a totally macho way off course!)

Depends on whether you have the time but this is pretty spectacular:

Thats the plan- the woman who is doing the wedding flowers runs a very small shop with not much on display so want to take a picture for her to do something equivelant. She lives a few streets away from OH's place so delivery will be smooth.

The one you listed from Debenhams flowers is a good bouquet - unfortunately they usually send it by courier which can reduce the impact (a city link guy turning up with a box doesnt have the same impact as a forist IMO) and while 9/10 times they'll be in good nick when they arrive it certainly raises the potential for the flowers to be damaged.

For what it's worth the first one I linked you to should be delivered by a local florist but if you show a pic of it to one and arrange it direct you will probably save some pennies

After a night out on the piss, I think some great coffee, together with thick granary toast, melted unsalted continental butter and good quality marmelade will be much more appreciated.

Along with a Morning After pill.

And maybe a hot, wet flannel to wipe the 'dribble' from her face?

Don't bother with Interflora or the other online places. Get into your local florists a couple of days in advance, tell them exactly what you want (see the flowers for yourself) and when/where you want it delivered.

They will make it up (with a personal touch, rather than from a standard list) and deliver for you.

Miles better than surfing to interflora.co.uk and clicking the most expensive option.

I have a great local one http://www.stemtation.co.uk/menu.html they are very good. Flowers delivered by them, on time.

I have used them numerous times before.

I am not sure where you are but I am sure I have heard them say thay they deliver further a field.
